A group of us go for trivia on Wednesdays and we love the vibe! The trivia is a great mix of difficult and doable questions which makes it fun. The staff is friendly, the owner came up and introduced himself the first time we went in and now stops by to our table to say hi. They have a little kitchen that they rent out (I think) and the food that they serve is yummy! not sure if they've changed the menu since I was last in, but they didn't have chicken as a meat for the tacos which was a bummer since I don't eat red meat/pork.

I had great memories for when this establishment was called, "Ausiello's." a cool place that we could hang out in after our league softball games in Belmont every Wednesday and Friday night. Cosmetically, ECR Pub is cleaner and the layout is more organized than Ausiello's, but that's the only somewhat-positive distinction I could find. Showed up on a whim because we were going for a drive on a Friday night at 7pm. There were only 4 customers in-house -- one at the bar and 3 sitting at an elevated table. 15 minutes to get someone to come take our order for a couple of beers. Another 15 minutes later, with beers half-consumed, we decided to order food. No formal menu. Instead, they literally just had FOUR items on a trangular standing chalkboard at the entrance. Our options were BBQ riblets, a burger (just one kind), and sweet potato fries. 40 minutes to get our BBQ riblets, again, with only 4 customers in-house. When they arrived, they were burnt, and difficult to chew (too hard/stiff). And oh, two beers and the ribs (about eight 3-inch riblets) totalled $48. Very disappointed. Too bad, as I was going to gather my old softball team here (14 guys with their families, probably totalling 40 people) for a reunion here. Going someplace else.

Walked into pretty empty place with no greeting or acknowledgement by anyone, figured out on our own that we needed to seat ourselves and walk up to the bar and order beverages and simple bbq ribs with sweet potato fries as a side. We should have noticed that the existing patrons had no food but we found out why as it took a ridiculous amount of time to receive our orders (two orders of the same thing - 6 ribs and sweet potato fries in each order) and the ribs were extremely overcooked and so dry it was like jerky, and the fries were so dehydrated that they were like chips.Only positives were the many TV screens and clean floors and tables so don't come here for food, just if you want to watch sports, play pool, and grab your own drinks.

This is my favorite spot in Belmont by a long shot - the midwestern owner from Wisconsin and his staff are some of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. On top of that, the food is out of this world, always so good. My friend group has also really enjoyed coming to the bar's themed nights: Karaoke, trivia, live music, and sport nights. Would absolutely recommend this bar for a good drink, good company, and a fun night.

Walked in and only 5 people seated at the bar on the right side, one table of about 7 people seated at one table on stools drinking beverages, and two people in back playing pool...no greeting or acknowledgement of the two of us as we entered and then seated ourselves. Should've taken our first clue from lack of acknowledgement and also that no one was eating anything but we ordered anyways, and it was incredible how long it took to even receive our food...six ribs and side of sweet potato fries. Huge mistake. Ribs were like sawdust jerky and the fries were chewy dehydrated chips. The one rib I did try to eat crackled like an old bone breaking and drinking my entire glass of soda was the only way to wash it down. The only good thing here is the many TV screens broadcasting sports. Not worth a visit at all.

Both my kids ate to-go ECR food/fries last night, and coincidentally, both my kids were up all night and this morning vomiting. This is not a joke, completely real.
Thought the bbq would be solid, but was forgettable. Dry ribs, and they deep fried them prior to serving?? Beer selection and music is good though.

Okay 5 stars for the bomb fooddd and cool they have such a spacious place to watch UFC fights. Arrived 6:40 ish Sat night to watch Jake Paul and Nate Diaz fight. This place must have 15 tv screens in various places. Better to come early to get a better seat on the high tops. We sat at the lower table in the pool table area and it was straining on the neck to have to look up at the screens. The food was bomb. Esp right after kayaking, we ordered rack of ribs and chicken wings and cold slaw. I tried a friend's tater tots and they were super good.. almost fluffy and perfectly seasoned, not salty at all. The sauce on the ribs is very bold heavily covered but it's pretty good.. chicken wings were very good. Nothing too salty. Also have a wide selection of beers. We enjoyed watching the game tho it went pretty late and i would just bring ear plugs next time bc it was a bit loud for me.

Didn’t eat, but came to watch UFC and was pleasantly surprised with the size of the bar and even full how short the drink wait was. Gonna watch all the UFC PPVs here.
